Using a glass bottle on water source block or a cauldron that has water will turn it into a water bottle. Using a glass bottle on a cauldron that contains potion will turn it into a bottle of that potion.[Bedrock Edition only] Using a glass bottle on a cauldron also removes 1⁄3 of that cauldron's contents.

Potions can be modified in four ways. The first is by adding glowstone dust to enhance the effect level. The second is by adding redstone dust to extend the duration of the effect. The third is by adding gunpowder to make a potion a splash potion. The fourth is by adding a fermented spider eye to corrupt the effect, turning it into a different one. The result of a corruption is usually the inverse of the original effect (for example: Swiftness to Slowness).

Corrupting an extended or enhanced potion usually results in a corrupted potion with the same modifier applied, if it is supported by the corrupted effect. Of the four corrupted potions, Harming is the only one which cannot be extended, and also the only one which can be enhanced.

Prevents the oxygen bar from decreasing and slightly increases visibility while underwater.

Makes player model disappear. Mobs will act neutral towards the player, unless the player is wearing armor (See status effects for specifics on armor). In splash form it is able to make mobs or other players invisible. Armor, items held in hand, arrows stuck into the player, a pig's saddle, a llama's carpet pattern, a shulker's yellow head and the eyes of spiders and enderman are not affected and are still visible.

Makes the player fall at a much slower rate, and not take any damage when hitting the ground. This allows the player to jump across a gap of almost 6 blocks when sprinting with this effect. The player also cannot destroy any crops by jumping on them while experiencing the effects of this potion.

The uncraftable potion is a potion with no effect that is unobtainable in survival. It is also available in splash potion and lingering potion forms, as well as for tipped arrows.

It can be obtained using the following command: /give @s minecraft:potion{Potion:"minecraft:empty"}. It is also obtained any time a potion has invalid or missing potion effect tags, and thus serves as a placeholder.

Cauldrons can be filled up with water, dyed water, and potions. Tapping the cauldron with a potion or water bottle will add one level of the respective fluid to the cauldron. If the cauldron is already filled with a different fluid, the cauldron is emptied instead.

Potions can be obtained with any status effect using /give and the tag CustomPotionEffects, which is an array of effects for the potion. See Item format#Potion Effects for more information, and status effect for a list of effects and IDs.

Potions were brewed using cauldrons,[1] by combining ingredients and other potions in cauldrons. Cauldrons, although they were functional and could be used to brew potions, were unavailable in this update.

In total there were 161 possible potion combinations, and 2,653 different types of potions.[2]

Jeb later tweeted that both he and Notch had come up with a different way to brew potions, which was revealed to be brewing stands.[3]

Taking a potion while already under the effects of the same potion does not add onto the effects time, but simply resets it. A potion effect will not "downgrade" if a lower level is activated. For example, if a player has Regeneration II, drinking a regular Potion of Regeneration will not have any effect.

A potion can reach a maximum tier of 127, but using the /effect command, effect levels can reach 255.

When a player drinks two potions by quickly switching to another potion immediately after drinking one, the second drinking animation will not be shown.

Potion of Poison II lasts for 22.5 seconds, but it is displayed as 22 seconds because the item hover display only shows rounded-down integer values.

All potions are renewable. The bottles can be obtained from a witch (as can some potions), Glass can be purchased from Librarian Villagers to craft into bottles, and already filled ones can be fished up. All potion ingredients from then on have renewable ingredients, provided blocks of farmland, water and soul sand exist in the world.
